Your plants deserve more than just water and sunlight. To help them thrive, we’ve pulled together a few key strategies—plus our favourite nutrient picks—to build vigor, resilience, and beauty into every leaf and stem.
1. Start with a strong foundation
Healthy plants begin with balanced nutrition. Use plant food that offers all the primary nutrients your greens need—nitrogen (N) for foliage, phosphorus (P) for roots and blooms, and potassium (K) for strength and metabolism.
Here are some of our go-to formulas:
- Grow Vegetables Nutrients Bucket All‑In‑One — a convenient all-in-one bucket formula, ideal for feeding your entire vegetable patch.
- Grotek Monster Bloom — great during flowering or fruiting stages to push bigger yields and reinforce plant toughness.
- ROOT!T First Feed — a gentle, root-friendly formula perfect for seedlings or transplanting phases.
Use these according to their directions, and monitor your soil or medium so you avoid overfeeding (or underfeeding).

2. Feed your plants “micro power” with Insect Frass + beneficial supplements
We believe in feeding beyond the basics. That’s why we include a FREE Insect Frass sample with every nutrients or plant food order—to give your plants that extra boost.
Why Insect Frass works so well:
- Trace minerals & chitin — small but powerful compounds that stimulate microbial activity around roots.
- Natural pest deterrent — chitin helps ward off certain pests, giving your plants an added defense layer.
For extra synergy, pair it with humic acids, beneficial microbes, or other bio-enhancers so your plants can absorb more from what you feed them.
3. Keep your plant “bodyguards” active
Nutrients help your plants grow, but you also need to support their internal immune systems. Pest pressure is real—but there’s a middle ground between neglect and chemical overkill:
- Use crop rotations, companion planting, and physical barriers (nets, row covers).
- Introduce beneficial insects (ladybugs, predatory mites) or microbe-based sprays.
- Monitor your leaves daily for early signs of pest presence. The faster you spot them, the easier to manage.
Your plants already have tools—nutrients and frass are just their allies.

4. Water smart, feed smart
Water deeply but infrequently (to encourage deep root growth). Avoid soggy soil or standing water.
Feed on a schedule—don’t wait until plants “look” weak (that’s too late). Use light but regular feedings, especially when they’re actively growing.

5. Patience + observation = stronger plants
- Listen to your plants: Leaf colour, growth rate, new buds—they all tell a story.
- Adjust as you go: If new leaves are pale, perhaps boost nitrogen. If flowering is weak, tweak phosphorus.
- Document your trials: What you try this month sets you up for next season.
